aurel Mountain Estates is located near the heart of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Doughton Park, that scenic byway's premier recreation area. It is named after Congressman Bob Doughton, who grew up in nearby Laurel Springs and is credited with routing the Parkway through this state.

To the west and north flows the New River. Believed to be the second oldest river in the world, it has been designated as a National Heritage River as well as a National Scenic River. Acclaimed by fisherman for its musky and smallmouth bass, it is a favorite summer spot for canoeing and tubing.
